1953 Map of Dunnville

About this map

The Green River carves a broad valley through the center of this terrain, serving as the primary geographic anchor between Pellyton and Dunnville. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where local life centered around small schools and churches positioned along elevated points and creek junctions. Numerous rural educational landmarks appear, including Tabernacle Sch No 1, Blair Ridge Sch, and Red Hill Sch, many of which were central to these upland communities. Genealogy researchers can trace family names through landmarks like the Austin Cem and Jones Cem, or follow the winding courses of Barnett Creek and Goose Creek. The mapping also highlights the complex political geography of the era, showing the converging boundaries of Adair, Casey, and Russell counties as they intersect across the ridges.
